A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

In Which a Former Resident of
this City Loses His Life.
The following telegram dated Fl. Scott,
Kansas, the 18th, is clipped from the
st Paul papers:
w. H. Grinter and w. H. Requa, prom
inent citizens, went turkey hunting near
Fort Scott, Kan, on Saturday last, Grim
ter had a turkey bone on which he made
acall, and Requa, thinking it was a tur-
key, fired, the ball striking Grinter in
the head. The latter thinking it was
done Ion p%urpo.9ely, returned aing T. the he,f fire. re XII, kill
w. II. Requa was formerly a resident
of and is we'll known in this city. He
was a brother OF A. G. Requa, of "The
Gem" saloon. Burt received q telegram
from TT. Scott Thursday, confirming the
He received q letter Thursday eyen-
ing containing the particulars Of the
tragedy. 1t seems that Will Requa, one
of his brothers and a friend went loo
miles from Nevada, Mo-, to the big
woods to hunt turkeys. The three men
had separated. and while walking
slowly along Will heard a ''call." He
stopped and threw his rifle to his face
and drew a bead upon a dark object in
Lllo OIuSu dDOut Ou ydINS away WHICH, Ao
supposed to. be a turkey. When the
smoke had cleared away he discovered
that he had shot at and injured a man,
and started to run towards the infortu-
nate fellow. When within 60 feet Of the
wounded man the latter leveled his
double barreled gun and poured both
barrels into Requa's breast and head
killing him instantly. The man-Grin-
ter-lived two hours. Before he died he
gave the circumstances of the shooting
as related above. Grinter belonged t.
another party OF hunters and was q total
stranger to Requa. He said when Requa
shot him and then started to run toward
him he supposed that he had been at.
tacted, and of curse did what he could
to defend himself. 1t was q sad mistake

lesson.

REPUBLlCANlSM.

The call for the Republican national
convention contains this declaration of
principles:
Republican electors in the several
states, and voters without regard to past
political utilization or differences, who
believe III the American principle of a
protective tariff, for the defense and de.
velopment of home industries and the
eleyation Of home labor; who would re-
duce the national taxes and prevent the
accumulation of the surplus in the
treasury in harmony with this principle;
who are opposed to the attempt now
more openly avowed than ever before,
to establish a policy which would strike
down American labor to the level of the
under paid and oppressed workers of
foreign lands; who favor q system of
naval and coast defenses which will
enable the United States to conduct It's
international negotiations with self.re.
spect; who gratefully cherish the de-
Tenders of the country; who condemn
and resent the continued and unjust ex-
cluslon of rapidly growing territories
which haye an indisputable title to ad-
mission into the sisterhood of states;
who are in favor Of free schools and
popular education, a free and honest
ballot and a fair count, the protection
Of every citizen Of the United States in
his legal rights at home and abroad, a
foreign policy that shall extend our
trade and commerce to every land and
cline, and shall properly support the
dignity of the nation, and the promo.
ton of friendly and harmonious rcla-
tons and intercourse between all the
states, are cordially invited to unite un.
der this call in the formation of a
national ticket.
There is no British free.trade non.
sense III the above. 1t is a r%eiteration
of the policy Of the political party un.
der whose management a reign Of mai
velous prosperity has been established;
under whose management we have been
given & sound currency; under whose
management The toiling masses have
been elevated from the lower levels OF
serfdom and slavery TO that higher
plane of intelligence, independence and
equality which makes labor respectable
and industry honorable.
And all this has been accomplished
in the face Of the combined opposition
of Democratic state bank and state
sovereignty croakers and kickers and
ersenback fanatics.

THE ELECTION CALLED.

The call for an election to vote bonds
for an artesian we'll and city hall has
been made by the common council,
and the election will take place January
5, 1888. There is a proyiso in the reso-
luton of tho council which prevents the
use Of any portion of the proposed $l2,-
600 for city hall purposes "until the
artesian well is completed and paid for"
This proviso IS in accord with the orlgi-
nal views of the council that the well
should be completed first, because the
council discovered q long time ago that
the uncertainty as to the depth it would
bs necessary to bore and the possibility
that there would be unforeseen expenses
which could not be calculated or esti-
mated beforehand, might call for the
entire amount of the proposed bonds to
finish the well. If, however, there is
good management and no serious diff
Guilty in getting a good flow of water, it
may not be necessary to use more than
half the amount for the we'll. Every
one seem willing to spend $4,000 for
a good well. Now if the city is so for
tunate as to get what it wants in the
water line for $4,000, it is difficult to see
the improperly of spending a portion
of the balance for an institution which
is needed almost as much as a water
supply.
One thing, we believe, isquite certain,
towit: the council feels the necessity and
importance Of economy fully as much
a. any taxpayer in the city. This ID
evidenced by the fact that the entire
board and the mayor are giving free Of
/ charge more time and attention to pub
lie affairs in enc week than o great
many have given in twice that many
years. 1t would be a source Of much
pleasure to the council if the taxpayers
would attend the board meetings and
make themselves acquainted with the
city's affairs. The doors are always
open to the public, and while the city
is getting the free use of a council cham
Der, as we'll az free services from its al
dermen, the opportunity to enjoy these
advantages should not be lost.
In other live cities the large taxpayers
form themselves into a board of trade
and make their wants known to the city
council through petitions and commit
tees. A great deal of good might resul
in this way.

The Democratic organ.grinders who
are exulting over the Chicago Tribune's
partial endorsation of the free trade
message, should turn back one page in
history and read the Tribune's OPPOSE
ton to John Sherman's specie payment
plan. Specie payment was enforced,
and brought great prosperity. The
Tribune in after times acknowledged its
own error. But what do the organ grind.
ers think of the New York Sun (Dem.)?
Here's what the Sun says:
We appeal most earnestly to those
great and patriotic leaders of the two
wings, John e. Carlisle and Samuel J..
Randall, to strongly undertake this SUI
preme duty Of the hour, and by earnest
cooperation to restore to the Democ-
racy the unity, the enthusiasm, and the
hope which but a few days since were
theirs.

cans are the sole opponents of "tariff

made some nominations for the local offices and
will probably complete the ticket this week. They
appear determined not to support the nominees of
the Irregular" convention, and some of them OPEN
ly assert that while they do not expect to win
themselves, they propose to make it possible for
the Republicans to elect at least portion of their
ticket. Some of those who at first were prominent
in this Independent movement now assert that
they have connection with it and that they will
support the regular nominees. There can be no
doubt about there being much dissatisfaction
